Supporting the Centre's decision to order fresh mock drills in hospitals across the country to test their COVID preparedness, amid rising cases, former director of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) New Delhi, Dr Randeep Guleria on Thursday said the drills would be a timely test of the prevailing healthcare infrastructure and keep people in the loop about an outbreak.

"It is always better to be ready. Preparations should be complete. So, I believe that mock drills are always good because we test the system if there is any outbreak or surge in cases," Dr Guleria, who is currently the chairman, Institute of Internal Medicine, Respiratory & Sleep Medicine, Director-Medical Education, Medanta, said.
